How to View and Analyze XP (Contribution Score) by Contributor
The 'XP (Contribution Score) by Contributor' widget in devActivity.com provides a powerful way to visualize and analyze individual developer contributions. Follow these steps to effectively use this feature:
- Navigate to the Widget: From your devActivity.com dashboard, go to 'Analytics' in the top navigation, then select 'Contributions'. The 'XP (Contribution Score) by Contributor' widget will be displayed on this page.
- Understand the Visuals: Each contributor is represented by an avatar and a horizontal stacked bar. These bars are segmented by contribution type: 'Issues' (orange), 'Commits' (green), and 'Pull Requests' (purple). XP values and raw counts are displayed on or near the segments.
- View Detailed Information: To see specific counts for a contribution type, hover your mouse over any segment of a contributor's bar. A tooltip will appear, for example, showing 'Pull Requests: 86'.
- Apply Filters: Utilize the filter controls (implied from the audio description) to refine the data. You can filter by a specific period (e.g., last 30 days), a particular team, or a specific repository to focus your analysis.
- Export Data: To export the displayed data, click the download icon (usually located in the top right corner of the widget). You will typically have options to export to CSV or copy the data to your clipboard.
- Utilize AI Insights (Premium): If you are a premium user, look for the 'AI insights' or magic wand icon. Clicking this will offer enhanced analytical capabilities through predefined filters and deeper understanding of contribution patterns.
The interface also clearly indicates contributors who have 'No contributions for selected period' and includes pagination (e.g., 'Showing 1 to 7 of 7') for managing the display of multiple team members.
